A ProLIFEration of LIFE
Sometimes I cannot keep up with myself!
This essay, on re-reading it, turns out to be a rambling, which is fun to do now and then by starting somewhere, having no destination in mind, and ending up somewhere else. Fun to do in writing … and also in life itself!
Quote by: Michael A. Horvich 2025
I wake up sometime between 7:00 and 8:00 am, and on rare days, 9:00 am. I sit at my computer with a cup of coffee and write for one to three hours. By noon, I am ready for breakfast, which might be as simple as a piece of toast and an apple, or sometimes I make eggs, sausage, hash browns, and fresh fruit in yogurt.
This is me at 80+ years old. People continue to look at how I spend my days and say, “You have so much energy. How do you do it?” My reply is, “You should have been around when I was young!” I feel like my energy has diminished to almost stand still, but when I write about it in essays like this, I realize that I am still a fairly active person.
I write, I photograph, I collect, I cook, I bake, I go out to dinner, I create, I keep my house, I pet my cat, I shop, I get groceries, I read, I watch TV, I watch movies, I go for walks, I visit with family and friends, I organize my collections, I decorate for holidays, I participate in condo functions, and more. I — I — Aye Yai Yai, that’s…
